Deploy apps from Kiro - setup guide

This guide shows how to connect AppDeploy to Kiro so you can deploy apps from your agent chat and get a live URL back.

Install the AppDeploy Power once, then deploy whenever you’re ready, without leaving Kiro.

Option 1: Install the AppDeploy Power (recommended)

  1. Open Kiro (download available here)

  2. Open the Powers panel

  3. Click Add Custom Power, then Import power from GitHub

  4. Paste the AppDeploy power repository URL and install:

    https://github.com/AppDeploy-AI/kiro-power

  5. On first use, an authentication screen opens in your browser. Select how to log in: Google, Apple, X, or Guest.

  6. Setup is done! Go to the agent chat and describe your app. For example:

    “Build a Hello Kiro webpage with a global visitor counter and deploy it with AppDeploy.”

Option 2: Manual MCP configuration

If you prefer configuring the MCP server directly, add AppDeploy to your Kiro MCP config (Kiro supports remote MCP servers with OAuth out of the box):

  1. In Kiro, open the MCP servers configuration (mcp.json)

  2. Add the AppDeploy server and save:

    { "mcpServers": { "AppDeploy": { "url": "https://api-v2.appdeploy.ai/mcp" } } }

  3. Reconnect the server; the browser authentication screen opens on the first tool call (Google, Apple, X, or Guest).
